An Open-Label, Prospective, Safety, and Tolerability Study of ExpressGraft-C9T1 Skin Tissue in the Treatment of Diabetic Foot Ulcers

This study is designed as a prospective, open-label trial focused on assessing the safety and
tolerability of ExpressGraft-C9T1 skin tissue in the treatment of diabetic foot ulcers (DFU).
Because the focus is on safety rather than efficacy, a standard of care comparator is not
included in this first-in-human study. Targeted enrollment for this study is up to 6 subjects
with a confirmed diagnosis of diabetes and who have foot ulcers. Subjects will each receive a
single application of ExpressGraft-C9T1 skin tissue on a single identified study DFU
following a 10-14 day run-in period. Any subjects requiring additional treatment will receive
protocol-defined dressings through Study Treatment Week 12 as necessary. Enrollment will
occur with a minimum of one week between each subject.


Inclusion Criteria:

SUBJECT-SPECIFIC CRITERIA

1. Men and women 18 - 80 years of age, inclusive

2. Female subjects of childbearing potential must agree to practice birth control for the
duration of the study

3. Documented Type 1 or Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

4. HgbA1C ≤ 10.0%

5. Ankle:brachial blood pressure index (ABI) of 0.7 to 1.3

- If ABI is > 1.3 (i.e., non-compressible ankle vessels) or cannot be measured,
then Toe brachial index (TBI) of ≥ 0.5, or

- Doppler arterial waveforms that are triphasic or biphasic at the ankle of
affected leg

- If ABI and TBI cannot be measured, then Transcutaneous pressure (TcpO2) of ≥ 40
around ulcer site, or

- Skin perfusion pressure > 30 if neither ABI, TBI, nor TcpO2 can be measured near
ulcer

6. Stable medications for 2 weeks prior to Study Treatment Day 0

- Sliding scale insulin permitted

- Select antimicrobial therapies can be used as needed

7. Capable and willing to attend the scheduled visits and comply with study procedures

8. Signed ICF for study enrollment

WOUND-SPECIFIC CRITERIA

9. Full-thickness ulcer on the foot of 1.0 cm2 - 5.0 cm2 at Screening Visit after
debridement with no clinical signs and symptoms of infection. Full-thickness is
defined as penetrating the dermis, but not extending beyond the subcutaneous tissue.

10. Study ulcer has been present for at least 4 weeks but not more than 1 year

Exclusion Criteria:

MEDICAL HISTORY/CURRENT MEDICAL CONDITION

1. Pregnant or nursing women

2. Prisoners

3. Abnormal laboratory value(s) for routine blood work that the Clinical Investigator
deems would not be in the subject's best interest to participate

4. Osteomyelitis in the study ulcer foot in the last 30 days

5. Grade 3 or 4 lower extremity edema

6. Unable to tolerate off-loading

7. Active Charcot's foot

8. History of malignancy in previous 5 years, except for basal cell carcinoma that has
been treated with local excision and is no longer present

9. Patients with unstable chronic renal disease or requiring dialysis

10. Gangrene in any part of study ulcer foot

11. Patients with a history of above- or below-knee amputation in the contralateral leg
related to underlying chronic disease.

- History of toe amputation in either leg would not be exclusionary.

12. Patients with history of poor compliance

13. Patients with baseline PRA of ≥ 20%

MEDICATIONS/THERAPIES

14. Oral or parenteral corticosteroids, immunosuppressants, radiation therapy or
chemotherapy within 30 days prior to study enrollment

15. Use of an investigational product within the preceding 60 days

STUDY ULCER

16. Signs and symptoms of clinical infection at study ulcer site

17. Study ulcer requiring antimicrobial therapy at Screening Visit or Study Treatment Day
0 due to clinical suspicion of infection

18. Treatment of study ulcer with Regranex® or hyperbaric oxygen within preceding 30 days

19. Previous treatment of study ulcer with any cell and/or tissue product (CTP) therapy

20. Change in wound size (increase/decrease) greater than 25% from Screening Visit to
Study Treatment Day 0

21. Other ulcers within 3 cm of study ulcer

22. Ulcers with tendon, muscle, joint capsule, or bone exposure
